Welcome to Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust

We are responsible for all Community Based Healthcare provided in Dorset, Bournemouth and Poole apart from your GP services, the Acute hospitals in Bournemouth, Poole and Dorchester and the Ambulance services.

We provide adult and children's community and mental health services; Dorset's 11 community hospitals;  healthcare in Dorset's 4 prisons; as well as specialist learning disability services, community brain injury, and community dental services.

Our vision is to provide services which we ourselves would like to receive and which we would recommend to our family and friends.
